This is not your typical slow living mum blog post. But there has been such a dramatic change in my life since I have eliminated gluten and switched to a more organic natural diet.
Six months ago I was living on a diet of coffee and deep fried dim sims and cigarettes. I never seemed to have any energy and my skin and hair was dull and limp. I just thought it was down to being a busy mum that doesn't have a lot of time for herself.
Then summer came and I seem to change my diet, I stopped eating gluten. I swapped to avocado on rice cakes with a hint of lemon juice. I suddenly had all this extra energy, it was easier to drag my bum out of bed in the morning. I actually started walking on my lunch break.
This was just the start the better I was feeling the more I wanted to feel better, I looked at myself in the mirror one day and realised that I was pushing 30 and still had acne. It wasn't just the acne I was aging long before my time. If I didn't change I would look like I am 60 at 40. So the reinvention of me began.
I am not a vegan person I love meat. Although I did reduce the amount of meat I was eating.
Here is some of the changes that I made:
- I stopped eating 50% of the processed food I was eating such as dim sims and chips
- I replaced the 50% with Natural fruit and nuts
- I started drinking 2.5 litres of water a day. (I have never peed so much in my life)
- I started cooking as much as I could from scratch. Such as pasta sauces/Meat pastes/Spreads. I was surprised how much cheaper it was to cook from scratch
- I put any junk food up above my eye height. If it was the age old if you have good food you will eat good food
- I started exercising once a day - Yoga/Walking/Swimming it does matter what it is so long as I was sweating.
It takes 28 days to make a habit. Once it becomes a habit it becomes second nature.
